G'Day Folks We tend to forget the size of trees as we see them everyday, looking good. manna -
G'Day Folks Mucking about with a Lima horsebox, as I said last year, I wanted to see if I could turn it into a GN, CCT, don't look to bad so far. I've taken all the detail back to a flat surface, and 'Planked' the sides and ends (they are a bit wide), then using pre cut strips (Evergreen) added the end doors and framing, just reached painting stage, other than changing the wheels to 'Munsell' type I won't be touching the chassis for a while, it's almost time to head North again. In the last picture I need to add two large louvered air vents, this will get done later. manna

Bounds Green Depot Area 1950-1965 (pics needed)
manna replied to Camps Junction's topic in Modelling real locations
G'Day Folks The Bounds Green layout has been in my mind for many years, didn't have the room for it, but do now, it'll have to be a bit smaller that scale, but I think I can get away with it. I lived on the Noel Park Estate in the 50's and early 60's, now in Northern Queensland, strange how we move about the globe. manna -
G'Day Folks Hi Shaun Hadn't notice the back, of the J54 sticking up, I'll have to take a closer look. Looking forward to having everything under one roof again. I didn't realise that I had accumulated so much, there must be at least half a ton. Next year there will be at least another 200kg of Books and Magazines to be taken to Queensland. This is what the Garden looked like after the wet season. manna

G'Day Folks Long time no post. Been very busy on other things, I've had to sort out and pack as much of my stuff as possible onto a trailer and transport it across Australia, I can't get it all on board, so I've had to be very selective, all of my Tools, that will be needed to refurbish the house, then whatever else I can pack. All up 100% of my tools, and 75% of my models/railway stuff is now in Queensland. I'll have to do another trip next year, as there are plenty of books etc still to be transported. Very little in the way of modelling has been accomplished, except for the J54 now having a number, there should be a small 'N' after the number, but I can't find my yellow paint (not surprising really) manna

G'Day Folks Don't think I've ever seen or heard of a layout with so many N1's. Wonderful. I'm sure I'm going to need at least one more. manna -

G'Day Folks As promised, the new/refurbished cab handrails, followed by the extension to the rear of an old Tri-ang 0-6-0 chassis, as you can see it's for a N7. manna

G'day Folks Yesterday was a Doozy, Started by extending an old Tri-ang 0-6-0 chassis, to go under a kit N7, plastic card and super glue flying all over the place. Then Oh !, I'm feeling weird, heads thumping, fingers tingling, heavy breathing, dizzy, and no it wasn't the 'Wacky Baccy', so I went for a sleep ( and wondered if I would wake up) hour or so later, up but definitely not right, then I remembered, 'Super Glue' haven't used it in a couple of years, last time I'd used it I had a reaction, and it seems I haven't got over it, I would now say that I'm allergic to the stuff. 24 hours on I feel a lot better. Certainly a wake up call. manna
